Iv'e probably missed it in this long thread but Windows 7 Home Premium X64 can't address more than 16 gb of ram. H P being the most popular and most modern desktop motherboards able to take at least 32 gb with the top end Intel at 64 gb of ram, it would be well to remember to run Professional / Ultimate or Enterprise for memory intensive applications.
